I am a mom of three doing my best to raise my children safely and give them the stability they deserve. After leaving an abusive marriage, I’ve been fighting not only for our safety but also through ongoing court battles that have placed a heavy financial burden on me.

My children and I currently have protective orders in place, and my oldest has been diagnosed with PTSD from the trauma we endured. Despite everything, I work full-time and even take on overtime to keep up with bills. I’ve managed to provide for my kids without food stamps or child support, but the cost of lawyers and Guardian Ad Litem fees for multiple court cases has become overwhelming.

Now, with an upcoming court date regarding forced grandparent visitation, I urgently need to rehire my attorney to continue protecting my children’s well-being and our boundaries.

I’ve never been one to ask for help, but right now I can’t do this alone. Any contribution—no matter the amount—will go directly toward legal fees and ensuring my kids remain safe, loved, and protected.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading our story and supporting us through this difficult time
